Everyone has been bitching about how much Paul Sucks and he does but did anyone look at QUEEN not Paul Fuckin Rodgers If you look at Roger he has gain alot of weight and Brian has gain too and if Paul were to teaming up with Queen It wont matter sadly they will never be as good as they were for one they lost half of Queen I am as much of a Queen fan as the next guy but it true They got old. Fred is Dead :( John is Retired, Brian is always bitchin and Roger well he is just following Brian. If Brian and Roger just would just play thier songs and not give them to FUCKING others like Electric 6 and Brittany Spears they would be alright

Leave QUEEEN (Thats what Bri n Rog are in a sense) well alone. They have the right to earn a living just like anyone. You wouldn't have a go at a Bus Driver from driving a bus? So don't begrudge entertainers for entertaining. Compelations: They're good. They keep Queen in peoples faces which was exactly were they were in the past. So people who don't buy the albumns compelations like "Queen Rocks" are good because it brings albumn only (not relased as a single) material such as "Sheer Heart Attack" to new people.

no you weren't referring to Brian - you were referring to people on here - looks obvious to me

on the subject of royalties - it's automatic - you cover a song by def leppard - the record industry deducts royalties from YOUR sdales and redirects it to the original artist/writer

I've seen several posts that mention Brian and Roger having gained weight and "looking old." They're nearly 60 years old. People get old and fat. You think they'd be playing any better if they dropped a few pounds? No.

a) Artists tend to feel honoured when someone covers their stuff, rather than sueing the people who pay tribute to them.

b) Royalties are collected and paid automatically by organizations such as GEMA and BMI.

I'm sorry, but I just had to note that this is the worst piece of grammar I've seen in months.

Vanilla Ice was different. It was a demo of the bass line + piano. You don't have to pay for that but if you don't get permission then you could get sued.

i thought VI DID pay royalties
- that's why he's broke!!! he had one hit - the bulk of which the royalities went elsewhere

Of course you have to pay royalties when you sample someone else's stuff. BRJF&Bowie actually did get a co-writing credit (= $$$).
If someone doesn't only cover a song, but also uses samples from the original recording he additionally has to ask for permission from the song's copyright holders and it's usually more expensive.
